About Danielle

Experienced harpist performs beautiful music for all occasions
Harpist
London
Public liability insurance of £5 million

Danielle started harp lessons at the age of eight and started earning her Grades 1-8 (Associated Board Syllabus) prior to winning a place at one of London’s premier music colleges, The Guildhall School of Music & Drama. During her three years study at the Guildhall, Danielle began her professional performance career and has since enjoyed diverse work as both a soloist and as part of orchestras and chamber groups. She has taught many pupils within a home/school teaching practice and after ten years decided to focus purely on performing. Her most valued work however is within care home settings where she provides a variety of music to both soothe and stimulate the residents, many of whom live with a dementia diagnosis. Danielle is enthusiastic to perform at any event including special days such as weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. She equally loves providing ambient music for corporate functions as the dulcet tones of the harp create a type of living wallpaper as a backdrop to the formality of such an event. By booking Danielle you will rest safe in the knowledge that you will hire a professionally trained, experienced harpist who performs a diverse set of music from contemporary pop to folk music, from light jazz standards to famous show stoppers and from popular classics to lesser known harp repertoire. There’s something for everyone!

Christmas music:
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
We wish you a merry Christmas
O Christmas Tree
Deck the halls
The twelve days of Christmas
Love came down at Christmas
Good Christian friends, rejoice
While shepherds watched their flocks
When Christmas morn is dawning
Hark! the herald angels sing
The first Noel
Go, tell it on the mountain
Infant hold, infant lowly
In the bleak midwinter
Oh come, all ye faithful
Silent night
Once, in Royal David's city
The holly and the ivy
Good King Wenceslas
Away in a manger
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
What child is this? (Greensleeves)
Oh, holy night
When a child is born
Frosty the snowman
Santa Claus is coming to town
Mary's boy child
Jingle Bells
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
The little drummer boy
Winter wonderland
Walking in the air
We three kings of orient are
It came upon a midnight clear
Coventry Carol
O come, all ye faithful
Joy to the world
O come, O come Emmanuel
Still, still, still
Angels we have heard on high
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
I'll be home for Christmas
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Silver Bells
The Christmas Song
Christmas comes anew
We celebrate the birth
Why so excited, my neighbor?
Come away, shepherds
Let it go (Frozen)
Do you want to build a snowman? (Frozen)
Baby, it's cold outside
All I want for Christmas is you
Fairytale of New York
Jingle bell rock
Mistletoe and wine
A winter's tale

We're beyond happy and grateful to have Danielle, an extremely talented harpist at our wedding! It has always been my dream to walk down the aisle with beautiful and magical music - and Danielle just did that not only for me and husband, but also our guests. Our guests really enjoyed her music and performance. We're thankful for Danielle patience and professionalism. From booking to delivery, it was all easy and stress-free communication! Thanks so much for your help to make our dream come true!

Everybody enthusiastically welcomed Danielle. No one knew she was going to play. For many it was the first time of being up close to someone playing a harp. Danielle played for a good deal of our party. Her repertoire was widespread across genres and was enjoyed by all. I would thoroughly recommend Danielle. A beautiful harp, beautifully played.

Danielle was a dream. Her music was so elegant - she chose a beautiful collection of pieces and set a wonderful tone for our son’s Christening. She judged the situation perfectly. It was so lovely arriving to the sound of her harp. Very special indeed x

Fantastic!! Danielle performed at our wedding this month in Farnham and she was absolutely amazing! She was very professional and friendly! The harp music added a nice touch to the day and felt very personal as we were able to choose some of the music ourselves. Thank you

The only thing more beautiful than Danielle’s music was my bride. From start to finish, our guests were enchanted- it fitted so perfectly with the setting. I can’t speak more highly of her, if you are considering having a harp at any function, look no further than Danielle, she’s as good as it gets.
